Hello Kincony, I've noticed that you use relays extensively to control the switches. I'm curious, what are the reasons behind not using triacs? On paper, triacs can handle about 1 million switching cycles before failing, so wouldn't that be a better option?

[@KinCony]

Physical contact is safer

[@erickademe]

Also they can handle more current

[@AI-Doom-]

@@erickademe relay or triac?

[@erickademe]

Relay

[@AI-Doom-]

@@erickademe that's true, but ssr takes way less space and is perfect if the current requirement is lower.

Thank you very much. it was really helpful

[@user-mz6dz5ed6l]

Hello Kincony. I am RAOUF GANABA. I started to follow your tutorials and I'm very interested in what you do. I would like to know more about your smart home systems

[@KinCony]

Thank you. We will often share some smart home system knowledge

[@NicholasIzzo-yq2me]

ok, this is nearly perfect, the only missing component is that when you click the button on the physical remote can the received signal in HA be used to toggle the state of the switch on the front end? -So that the virtual switch in HA reflects the state of the most recent physical button press? How would the esphome yaml need to be changed to get that functionality? Thank you

[@KinCony]

HA can identify the RF buttons key code. use it for ON/OFF/TOGGLE , just config in ESPHome.

[@ersheikismail8293]

Can we use the KCSv2 to do the same function rite...make a detailed video about it

[@KinCony]

sure, will make KCS different cases video tour later.

[@Danixx1989]

Thanks for the video. Which is the ESP you use? I am using an ESP32, but in the description I don’t find the 433 pins. Thank you 👋🏻

[@KinCony]

i am using ESP32-WROOM-32E, 433M receiver pin you can define with any ESP32 GPIO

[@RND-USA]

This is so cool. I’m too new Home Assistant coding to fully understand what’s going on but I want to! Do you have a video with start to finish, step by step using an ESP32 module do you have example code? I have an rf 433MHz 12v relay that came with a black remote just like the one in your video. I also have a bunch of ESP32’s. I just installed Home Assistant on my mac. I’ll rewatch this video again to see if I can figure out how this all works. 😂

[@KinCony]

if you use ESP32 module, you can config RF by ESPHome, esphome have online guide details.

[@RND-USA]

@@KinCony okay I’m going to look. Thanks so much. Excited.

[@RND-USA]

@@KinCony hi! I think I’m getting close to setting everything up and figuring it out. My remote has an A and a B button (two buttons). One causes the relay to go on and the other turns it off. Do you know the code I would add for the second button / signal? Would it be under the same “switch” or do I make a new entry? Or do you know of a good template for 2 button code? When I google search yaml code for this project the results I get currently are very different than your code (a lot of extra variables you aren’t using that I don’t understand). Thank you so much!

[@KinCony]

every remote's button have different KEY CODE, so need to learn every button, create AUTOMATION for every actions.@@RND-USA

[@RND-USA]

@@KinCony I got it working! Thanks so much!

Super! How to connect ESP to KINCO HMI?

[@KinCony]

you can use HMI by serial port , such as RS485 or RS232

[@xristostri1054]

Hello KinCony. Great video. I tried with my old silvercrest plugs but everytime i push remote button, it decode different code. Is it normal? thankyou

[@KinCony]

which kincony board model you are using?

[@tottisilver9860]

Hello i have a Kincony A16 flashed with Tasmota Firmware from the Kincony Forum. But it doesn't work with RF signal. I hope you make also a Tutorial for RF control with Tasmota.

[@KinCony]

you need define RF gpio for RF sender and RF receiver pin, then create "RULE" in tasmota, it's just AUTOMATION.

[@tottisilver9860]

Can you give an example of the rule?

[@mdakramhossain3600]

sir it is possible kincony smart device connect HMI like Siemens , Mitsubishi, Schneider,ABB, etc others brands.

[@KinCony]

if you have their protocol, no problem.

[@KinCony]

can you take one example, how to integration? what function?

[@mdakramhossain3600]

ac servo motor for position control. thank you sir...

[@user-jh7em9jd7x]

Is the Code avail. for Download ?

[@KinCony]

sure
